Jonathan Wesley Phillips (1827 - 1900)

The paternal relationship between Jonathan Wesley Phillips and his daughter Mary Adelaide Phillips is confirmed by the direct inheritance path of autosomal DNA down to their DNA tested descendant SG.

The segmental (via DNA segment triangulation) and total DNA shared between SG and other confirmed descendants of John Phillips is consistent with the expected ranges for their respective relationships. Since SG descends from John Phillips through Jonathan Wesley Phillips and his daughter Mary Adelaide Phillips, the presence of significant shared DNA between SG and other known descendants of John Phillips validates the generational links along this paternal line.

This supports the conclusion that DNA was passed from MRCA John Phillips through Jonathan Wesley Phillips to Mary Adelaide Phillips, and ultimately to SG, confirming this direct ancestral connection through multiple generations.
